First, your Hiper ARC has lost it's configuration. Can you not type an "N" to get a prompt? If not, restart the thing, and when you see the "HiPer Access Router Boot Configuration" menu, try and type something. If you can't type anything there, then your serial cable isn't working. Second, on the NMC - don't have a clue, but you might try removing the debug jumper toward the front of the card and see if starts then. Also - I've found that a serial cable that's wired wrong, or the wrong port settings for your serial port, can cause either the ARC or the NMC to hang indefinitely until you remove the serial cable. Once you confirm that your serial cable is working on the ARC, then plug it into the NMC and see if works better. - Joel -----Original Message----- From: Mike Adkins [mailto:tci@glis.cc] Sent: Monday, March 31, 2003 8:28 PM To: usr-tc@mailman.xmission.com Subject: [USR-TC] Help!!
